Main event is now underway folks. This is cool
Competitive Pokemon Singles has now peaked with the beginning of Jimvitational. An incredible invite-only Gen 3 OU tournament featuring the best of the best.
Who is the best in ADV OU? Who will utilize Skarmory, Tyranitar or even Camerupt? Some will never figure all that out.

[@Jake-kr8sc]

Not to spoil, but the raticate special offense team with arbok defense support is pretty wild. You do NOT want to miss this one folks!

[@handoverthestromboli6715]

Guts boosted hyper beam. insane

[@UnlimitedChill655]

Okay this is my new favorite type of comment.

[@SlimeIguana]

Its a pretty standard team, not sure what was wild about it. If anything the following game with the mono ground mirror match was the crazy one.

[@Jake-kr8sc]

@@UnlimitedChill655 Honestly? This is my new favourite type of comment (Commonwealth English)

[@stuckinabucket6873]

The baton pass into Dug to trap the resting snorlax was crazy.

[@jan-seli]

There is gaming on my screen.

[@lron_valiant]

That freeze on swampert was insane folks

[@TrulyAtrocious]

This isn't even spoilers every game ends with hax in this channel

[@lron_valiant]

@@TrulyAtrocious real 😂

[@H3nzWatermess]

unlucky to sapienta for the second freeze g1, i think bold jirachi was pretty favoured from there to toxic things and win - since he revealed no heal bell on celebi, But you cant deny it mattered. Tbolt para from the mag was pretty relevant to - there were extra protects i couldn't take that due to para chance - cant risk it vs the mag for example between tbolts, it only increases my chances of him getting a full para and 3 hitting jira with tbolt. So some luck on both sides.
I do think bold jirachi without paralysis on it cleans this up well - as it takes 70% ish from CB eq and less than 50% from pert eq so can just stay in and toxic vs them both, put them on that timer, and then easily heal up later on the celebi because celebi was running out of leeches.
Thanks to jim for covering my games, very solid breakdown from him.

[@ObliviousBear]

Great plays throughout, really enjoyed the discipline you showed while ahead. GGs

[@H3nzWatermess]

@@ObliviousBear thanks for the compliment my guy, was pretty happy with how i played honestly. losing the tar game 1 might have been an oversight, but other than that really happy with my gameplay

[@AutumnReel4444]

Been growing into a big Mess fan, gl in the coming rounds

[@andrewoliver7095]

Absolutely beautiful playing from Watermess. Nothing too flashy; just extreme focus, discipline, and good, solid predictions. Might be the best Watermess match I've ever seen.

[@retrowaffles5442]

That game 1 endgame was really challenging to figure out, honestly very educational to watch watermess turn a won game into a finished game. I know I would not have navigated it as well as he did

[@J.Applejuice]

A meeting of titans, this is insane!

[@_Crowuh]

That Swampert was frozen for all eternity

[@DQplz]

Jimothy. I require a real Muk Monday. Muk must hit the field.

[@BandedMetagrossMeteorMash]

Such fantastic plays all around. Very fun to watch

[@scarredk0]

Watermess playing completely fearlessly. Awesome play from him.

[@shanefoster2132]

Incredible round 1 to open the tourney.

[@appointmenteer]

this was really good and unique play from both sides. good job to bith players, and gg watermess!

[@floralpatterns21]

What a crazy match up for round 1

[@splitsee2526]

the BP to Swampert was excellent, I loved the teams here.

[@AlexAdema-qf1sv]

I've never seen a team like Watermess' second one. This is insane

[@444Basketball]

Does anyone know what the sets on Watermess's second team are? Would love to try it out. I'm relatetively sure about the moves but unsure about the EVs

[@tysondennis1016]

Anybody wish Snorlax got Slack Off?

[@batatino8805]

excellent gaming

[@retrowaffles5442]

Can we watch live anywhere or is it commentary only? Not that I don't love jims narration but id love to tune into the games that don't make youtube

[@absol102]

Watermess is a genius!

[@doma3554]

Swampert’s name in game 2 is funny.

[@citrus5797]

Imagine winning an entire tournament, and then losing a single set to a bunch of crits and two freezes 😭

[@tezminator]

If someone has a custom avatar with Urshifu on it I imagine they use it a lot where it's available and to those people I feel like every bit of unlucky rng rolls is earned given the unfairness this stupid bear mechanics.
PS: also, even though the freeze on Swampert was unfortunate, the match by then already was much more in favor of watermess to win.

[@DarkAuraLord]

"unfortunate doesn't begin to describe my series"

[@scarredk0]

The second freeze was unlucky, but there weren’t any significant crits. Watermess soundly outplayed sap, nothing more to say

[@Luzbel809]

The second game's result was fair and square, though

[@DisastrousIntentionally]

​@@scarredk0 The freeze itself was unlucky but the Swampert remaining frozen 8 turns deep is unreasonable.

[@CantusTropus]

For the algorithm

[@Rumielle]

Gaming

[@aburr1537]

So this is my favorite gen but isn't this stale guys? Can I honestly have fun with this? There's like 12 pokes people are using

[@RevivalTournaments]

You can do as you wish.

[@aburr1537]

​@@RevivalTournaments then I challenge you. I've been top 20 in a few categories. Best of 3?
